... “We went into this season knowing it was really going to be challenging, because we lost a lot of players (from last season),” West said. “Due to graduation, transferring, just quitting. This whole year is about rebuilding and setting the foundation for the next years to come.”

That doesn’t come without bumps in the road. The Terriers started the season with an 0-7 record, and were outscored by a 129-12 margin in that span. Instead of focusing on the broad spectrum of winning an individual game, West had her team focus on small goals within each contest.

“We talk a lot about the small goals,” West said. “Every game, I’ll set a statistical small goal, that I want by (halftime). A certain amount of ground balls, or caused turnovers, or draw controls that we want each half so that — even though the score may not reflect a win — we’ve met these goals.”
